AuthorTopic: /boot partition (Read 3507 times)

When installing Vector Linux I don't see where either the graphical or text installer allows you to mount and use a separate /boot partition. Have I missed something, or is there a design reason for this?

rgr that. Still it seems like it wouldn't take more than a few lines of code in the installer.

Perhaps you are underestimating your users -- after all, if I was a noobie I don't think I would use a slackware-based distro. I'd use that brown distro because of apt, the high level of integration and the vast library of packages, and because I could probably find other users to help me out. I think you need to have some level of Linux sophistication to use VL.

Just as a point of interest I happen to work for a very_large_web_company. As a Unix admin. We manage close to 2000 Linux boxes, half of which are public-facing. We do use a /boot partition, and we do not mount it in normal use. That prevents the monkeys (some of whom work for us) from messing up critical files and adds a degree of security.
